School Styled Looks: Texas Style

I am super excited to share this post! I finally learned how to use 

Polyvore and I am feeling REALLY REALLY accomplished about the whole thing.

One thing I did not realize is how time consuming it could be! Cropping the 

images perfectly around the item was no easy task. (On that note, I apologize

for the random hairs on the shirt, nothing really to be done to crop that out)

Before I explain each outfit let me start with some notes. Each of the pop of

color items were found by me somewhere on the internet. Today I found quite

a few cute and affordable things at JCPenny.com, so most of the items are from 

there. If you think JCP is lame, you are definitely mistaken! I would classify it as 

a smidgen above Forever 21. The clothes aren't too expensive but they have some 

very trendy items. Also, they are pretty much always having a sale & they ship for 

free to the store!  With the exception of the colored pants, the rest of the looks
would be perfect with your favorite pair of jeans and cowboy boots. The jewelry
is just a guide of what kind of things would be sassy complements. Also, each photo
is linked to its Polyvore page. Enjoy!

These looks are stylized centering around some sort of denim bottoms & boots!

Blue & White [Great for girls at Rice University or SMU]
1.  Joe Fresh Two-Tone Shirt $29: pair with simple white shorts and boots for
a super cute game ensemble. If attending an SMU event add a red pop of color! 

Red, Black & White [Great for game-days at Houston or Texas Tech]
2. Allen B. Studded Skinny Jeans (yes they have studs on them!) $14.99 and 9 & Co. 
Print Bow Neck Blouse: I love the contrasting texture with printed top. Something
different but still a classy & conservative look. 

Green & Yellow [Great for Baylor events, obvi]
 3. Co. Charmeuse Bow- Collar Blouse $24.99: I think this top is gorgeous and this 
whole look is my absolute favorite! The color is super striking and the price point 
is fantastic! Easily can be accessorized with gold or yellow to really bring the look together. 

4. Worthington 3/4 Sleeve Colorblock Sweater $18: This sweater is all around Baylor and
would be great for the crisp fall weather. I did not pair this one with cowboy boots because
I think it would work better with riding boots. 

Orange & White [Great for any UT gal]
5. Bisou Bisou Pleated Dolman Sleeve Top $24.99: When it gets cooler could also work
well with jeans, but I think the shorts are way better for the warm football games. 

Purple, White & Black [Perfect for a Horned Frog or K-State gal w/different boots obviously]
6. jcp Slim-Fit Skinny Ankle Jean $13.99 and Liz Claiborne Short Sleeve Lace Top $19.99:
This is such an affordable look that can easily be dressed up with some sweet accessories
(like the Kendra Scott earrings and Rebecca Minknoff bag). Your admirers will never know!

Maroon [Perfect for an Aggie]
7. Pins & Needles Ruffle V-Neck Top $39: Finding a maroon top was pretty difficult. But
I think this one was super cute and would work with any type of jean shorts. I would have
not have put it with high waisted shorts but it was too hard to crop out the top.

Red, White & Blue [to the stylish ladies of SMU]
8. Joie Top- Amarey Matte Silk $159 matched with the studded skinny jeans linked above.
This ensemble would also be great with wedges or strappy sandals if strutting around
the Boulevard!

I hope you liked my looks for today! Check them out on Polyvore for the full outfit!

Happy Tailgating!

First Post: Baylor/ SMU Game Day Looks

I am so excited to finally take this on! I have always been so fascinated and obsessed with game-day fashion. It is so great to be able to look cute while supporting your team. Unfortunately, finding certain colors during certain months is virtually impossible. (I once needed a red dress for a "red out" in the middle of september; I wet to EVERY store in Dallas' NorhtPark mall and found one thing. Since then, I started to hoard them. Just in case.

Today I started a Pinterest Board (I would really appreciate a follow)! I will be posting the perfect pieces for your tailgate/school event/etc. They are sorted by school, but if your school is not listed and another has the same school colors, It can obviously be cross applicable. I will go through these once a week to ensure that these items that I have linked to are still available from the specific retailers. Lets be real, how frustrating is it when you see something simply perfect on Pinterest and you have absolutely no idea where to buy it OR it's sold out. Yeah, none of that will be happening on my board. On here I will highlight my favorite finds from my internet searches just to give you a little sneak peek. 

So without further hesitation, here are mine from today. My first two boards include colors applicable to my two schools (SMU & Baylor) so for those of you unfamiliar with these amazing institutions, Red, Blue, Yellow & Green. 

side note: these will be sorted starting with the higher price point dresses first, aka the ultimate. the second set will be much more affordable options but obviously just as cute. 

Red Finds of the Day

 Kate Spade Ashby Dress $201

This cute little thing is on Sale if you can believe it. The 3/4 length sleeve will make it perfect for crisp fall weather. Pair it with cowboy boots and a contrasting color necklace for a fully complete look.

[STEAL] Forever 21 Fit & Flare Dress $17.80

Umm this is so basic and cute. Cowboy boots or sandals, either would work. 

I would finish the look off with these, or something like it. 

Blue Finds of the Day

 Lilly Pulitzer Whitaker Wrap Dress $188

This dress is SOOOOOO CUTE. I legitmately believe this style would work on 90% of different body types. If you are busty a cami can help with that, if you're taller add tights. The long sleeve will make it ideal for the fall weather and the silky texture will feel great on the skin. This one is definitely a win!  

So it looks as if this is sold out online in navy. ugh. but maybe you lucky people who have a store in your city can ask them to do a send sale or check out a via shop. hopefully it's not a total lost cause. 

[STEAL] Forever 21 Ribbon Applique Halter Dress $24.80

This is just adorable. Sassy & embellished. Perfect little combination. Add some 

red shoes (or whatever your other color is) for a sassy little extra pop of color and spirit. 

White Finds of the Day

Lilly Pulitzer Nicole Strapless Romper $148

This dress ensemble will only be good for one game of the year, but seriously who cares. White could not get any cuter. It's sassy, classy and all things any good southern girl wants for a football game

I can't honestly stand how cute this would be with cowboy boots. And maybe

this purse  and these earrings Just a thought. 

[STEAL] Forever 21 Strappy Fit & Flare $22.80

I love love love the back of this dress. Perfect for a whiteout game when the average temperature outside is over 100F. This could paired with legitimately anything. 

Red, White & Blue Find of the Day: Kate Spade Corley Dress $398. 

I think this thing is so wonderfully patriotic. Although it is a little fancy, it would be such a great way to not only represent your country but your school. It could also be worn at a variety of other occasions. I would pair with strappy flat sandals such as these cute things  

Green Find of the Day

[STEAL] Forever 21 Class Striped Woven Dress $27.80

This dress is remarkably preppy and conservative for Forever 21. I was definitely pleasantly surprised. If I may say, it even looks a tad Kate Spade like. 

Yellow Find of the Day

[STEAL] Urban Outfitters Kimichi Blue Daisy Strap Dress $69

I flippin love this thing. The daisies on the straps, and the tie back are so darn cute. I also love the cut. Super flattering. I love how effortless the model looks. That is obviously a way to style this or add some statement earrings and of course your cowboy boots. 

That pretty much wraps up my game day finds for today. Check back tomorrow and Pinterest for more great finds!
